Indeed Resume gives you an online presence with the largest job site for free. It's suffers limitations, but there's little reason not to add it to your job search toolkit.

Create an Account

To post a resume you may either sign in with your Facebook credentials or create an account for free. All you need is an e-mail address and password to get started.

Upload an Existing Resume

If you have an existing resume, you can upload and edit it to get started. I used a Word document.

Imperfect Conversion

Theupload worked pretty well overalll--it carried over my bullet points, for example--but when it came to sorting my information, Indeed hit a couple of snags. Here, you can see that some of my skills have listed under work experience.

Job Alerts

While the beta version of the service doesn't allow you to repurpose your resume to apply for jobs listed on the site, Indeed does let you set up e-mail alerts.

Add Experience

Adding experience is easy: all it takes is a job title, employer, location, and date. There's also a place to include your job duties.

Your Personal Page

Once you're finished, you're resume will be available online. From the page potential employers may contact you via an integrated e-mail form.

Not So Personal URL

The link to your resume, while available online, is less than personal. I would love to see Indeed link to (or at least redirect from) your account name.

Download It

You can download the final product as a PDF from your resume web page. It's clean, though fairly basic.
